The folks at GM headquarters are not happy. After a Reuters story on Monday morning was picked up and splashed around the internet on websites including CNBC.com and the Huffington Post there is a widespread perception General Motors is losing at least $49,000 on every Chevy Voltit sells.
For GM executives it's one more shot at the Volt as a money losing car that few people want. To quote one GM executive, "The math in that article is not fair." Is that true? Yes and No.
The numbers aren't wrong, but it's too soon to definitively call the Volt a "money-loser." After all, Toyota lost money selling the first million Prius models, but now the hybrid car is a profit driver for Toyota and a major part of the company's line-up.
The Volt is a money-loser, …for now.
General Motors has spent roughly $1.2 billion developing the Chevy Volt. And in the last two years it's only sold 21,500 versions of the extended range electric car. That means GM has lost a little over $55,000 on every Volt it's sold.
These are numbers GM does not dispute.
The issue GM has is with the methodology. "Reuters' estimate of the current loss per unit for each Volt sold is grossly wrong, in part because they allocated product development costs across units sold instead of across the lifetime volume of the program, which is how business operates. Reuters' numbers become more wrong with each Volt sold," GM said in a statement.
Whether you like GM or not, the company is right.
In the manufacturing business it's a cheap shot to take the total amount of money spent developing a new product and use that as a basis for calling the new product a money loser years before that product has finished its run. By their very nature, most large capital intensive manufactured goods lose money for years before they finally turn the corner and become profitable.
Look at Boeing . It has spent an estimated $14 billion developing the Dreamliner. Using GAAP accounting methods, Boeing has said the Dreamliner is profitable, even though it will still be years until Boeing recoups all the money it's invested in the plane. What's more, almost everyone on Wall Street expects it be a very lucrative plane for decades to come.
Is the Volt over-priced?
One reason so many question whether the Volt makes sense financially is because of its price. It sells for $39,995 before a $7,500 government rebate. In the eyes of many, that's too pricey for most car buyers. In fact, when you talk with Chevy dealers they'll tell you the Volt's price is a major hurdle in selling more of the extended-range electric cars. This is one reason why GM is pushing leases of the Volt for as low as $199 a month. That's helped boost Volt sales to their strongest monthly rate this year. Still, GM has sold just 13,500 this year.
For GM, it's caught in a Catch 22.
If it lowers the price of the Volt much further it will take even longer until it turns a profit on the car. Plus industry consultants estimate GM already spends at least $75,000 per Volt to build the car. Lowering the price will mean losing even more money per car. As a result GM is in a period where it needs greater demand to spark Volt sales. If gas were to move sharply higher that would help. But until that happens, the Volt is a costly niche car.
Will the Volt eventually be a money maker for GM? Perhaps. Even critics of GM admit that several years from now, when GM is building the second generation of the Volt and the extended range electric car technology is put into other models in other markets around the world, the automaker could eventually re-coup all the money it's invested so-far. When and whether than happens remains a big question.

rossoline (#40078) :
That's exactly what I think Anno was trying to say. One of the last scenes of EOE depicts Shinji speaking briefly with his mother and, in so many words, tells her he knows that he hasn't really resolved any of his insecurities and that he still doesn't know where his happiness is. I think he has learned a lot about himself, but whether or not he actually implements that knowledge for his own good is ultimately up to him. Self discovery is only half of the battle. If he doesn't have the will to act on what he has learned the knowledge will be fleeting, like a dream, and he will regress to old habits. We can only hope that he doesn't do so, but I like that it leaves us with hope..
i think he learnt one thing...that the fact he hasn't found happiness doesn't mean he can't live normally...through the serie all characters were searching for happiness, were trying to find answers to their questions and how it ended????(before eps 25,26) ALL OF THEM mentally collapsed...no one found this happiness that they were searching for....so meassage is easy....we can not find answers to all our problems,questions, we can't know everything and so we have to accept the way life goes on...
god...i hope no one said it already

I've seen Haibane Renmei a little while ago and I think it's the other way around:Haibane Renmei has a little of Evangelion in it asking some of the sasme essential questions.Perfect even though it lacks in action.
I don't know if I've said this here but the fact about the EOE is that it's soul wreaking.It's not a happy ending nor a sad one.But
is the ending of everything.That's what makes it uniquer.It re3aches the point when even death is ruled out and it depicts so much pain and knowledge that it takes Evangelion one step further becoming something else that it was ment in the begginig.If that is the vision of a deluded man as I've read once than that means that this world is full of fools.Humanity under a microscope to show its conceptual flaws and errors.That is,in a way,reality.
This is just my opinion on the EOE...there are many more.
We are the undead lovers. Sleep, only sleep. No need for hunting, no need for haunting.

Haibane really stood out for me, much much moreso than Lain, Texhnolyze, or Niee, because there's nothing vaguely sci-fi about it. It's really tempting to see Christian symbolism and philosophy in Haibane, obviously due to the angel-wing motifs, as well as the role of Karma and Sin do come up in the show. But I want to back making connections beyond that -- Eva deliberately uses Kabbalistic and Gnostic mythology/symbolism, and so Anno's intentions can certainly be interpreted with Judeo-Christian concepts.
Haibane's really, really special to me. I often view the show as something of an extension of Spirited Away, a movie whose creatures, symbols and motifs whom I felt a very strong existential connection. But unlike Spirited Away, we see the logical conclusions of such a world.

I didn't find the series complex . . . more like rich with symbols and ideas. The first half of EofE is brutal, but it is brutal (and honest) in the sense that Requiem for a Dream, or Von Trier films are.
The butchering of Asuka is both horrifying and oddly beautiful, the unconscious, animalism, organic of human nature has always been there since the first episode.
I also feel that often people ignore the beautiful, compassionate majesty that is expressed through the 2nd half of EofE. Having passed through the total nihlism of the first half of the movie, we are then asked to view life as the beauty thing that it was, then our "real world" life as it was.
Everywhere in the film you get the feeling Anno was trying to again and again and again express how precious life truly was, how beautiful life was wasted, how we as a whole human race are fallible and beautiful . . . just aching to the extremes of violence and grace to impart this message to us the viewer.
IMO, the film does a good job with its Judeo-Christian symbolism. It differs from traditional philosophy in that it takes a strongly Gnostic view of the world. Its view of God and Life is in other words, heretical and thus the "villains" of the show are heretics against the basic life-affirming morality of most people. But anybody with an existential crisis or even vageuly Buddhist beliefs tend to side with Gnosticism anyway, that evil in this world is preoccupation with it, and that true nirvana is release from it into an ego-less, womb-less existence.
I like to view the film's progression as roughly a sci-fi representation of "ascending" the Kabbalah's Tree of Life from Malkmut to Keter (heaven.) I mean, I was shocked when they exposed Adam as the sci-fi Adam Kadmon . . . it was like, holy crap, Anno is retelling the Kabbalistic version of GENESIS?!?
But Anno takes an existential view of the Tree of Life. Because Shinji will not give up his identity/ego, because he cannot cross Daat/the Void at the end, just as Adam and Eve attained ego from eating the apple, he is "punished" in going back to the new World. But he accepts Kierdekkagard's view (sp?!?) that having an identity, a self, even if you are miserable or overwhelmed by the bodily connection to sin, is better than having no ego at all.
This is by far the deepest anime I have ever seen, and will probably ever see, and Slippy, your views on this series are very close to mine.
However, my perception is that Shinji didn't just get his ego back.. He saw a possibility in changing his personality. While watching the last 4-5 episodes, I began thinking of the author of Eva. He must have endured a very turbulent, yet deep and philosophical, intellectual life. I see this change in Shinji's personality as the source of the author's will to live. The fact that Shinji can change his self remorse into happiness, and instead of running away, change his own perception of himself into something he wants, (which was the world where Asuka wakes him up for school in the morning, and everyhting goes happy), is an indication that the creator is probably thinking the same thing. He can change the views of his wretched life into something pleasant and happy, thereby keeping him alive.
The viewers can also put themselves in Shinji's and the Authors' shoes, and apply the same principle, that life is not what others make it, but it is how one precieves others make it,
I've taken some english literature courses, and not shakespeare, not even sophocles, NOTHING comes closer to describing the meaning of life than this anime series.. Totally amazing! I'm now looking for people to talk in-depth about this series... Know of any good places? Please PM me.

Vince C>you've hit me in the head with the last line of the post.Get a few head pills,close your cell phone,pull the curtains because a few days you'll be gone after the EofE.
EofE embodies the essence of Evangelion while at the same time pushes the anime over a new limit and the author's conception becomes clear.One of the best or even the best!

he showed his anger that he had kept deep inside...
at last he decided to change something...
so that HCP might began...
and if you haven't noticed right after he had strangled Asuka HCP started...

Didn't the final scene represent that Shinji didn't want to be alone anymore and that Shinji and Asuka were the new Adam and Eve for that level of evolution? After all, that bit before it talked about there always being one representative around to continue with humanity's existence. Shinji hated Asuka for what she did, but she was his only source of not being alone after the evolution, so he couldn't kill her like he did in the dream.
And yeah, the maker was put into a mental asylum. So no wonder it's messed up. Symbolic but messed up.

Well firstly I want to mention that I highly enjoyed reading your great analyses of End of Evangelion, but I want to ask one offtopic question, if it's mentioned somewhere before, then sorry that I was stupid enough to miss it. In Neon Genesis Evangelion series episode 24 near the end Kaworu (last angel) looks at adam and says "No, This is... Lilith?! I see. I understand Lilim now." Then he makes his mind to die. Can anybody tell what does it mean? Why did he call "Adam" the "Lilith" ?

Lilith and Adam
That's actually a very common question... Kwarou is the first to realise that that being on the giant red cross in Terminal Dogma is Lilith, and not Adam. Remember at the end of episode 8? (Asuka Strikes!) when Kaji delivers a briefcase to Gendo? that's Adam, Gendo has him surgically grafted to his hand and Nerv is using Lilith on the cross as a decoy.
Interesting side note: When Kajhi Tells Misato he's going to tell her the truth, and shows her "Adam" on the cross...Lying!

Anime of the 90's
Is it just me or are almost all the anime series that came out of the 90's a little strange. Evangelion, Macross plus, Ghost in the Shell. They are all great anime but they all get very strange towards the end and have very dark conotations.

I suppose. But why then has anime seemingly taken a more light hearted turn in past years? Love Hina, Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu, Fruits Basket, and so on.

Nah. Shounen anime imports in the late 80s/early-90s was much darker. Basically all that was getting released in the States was cyberpunk, dystopian works like Akira, GITS, Alita, Patlabor, Bubblegum, Macross, Gundam, Queen Esmerelda, ADV Police, etc. Or fantasy/horror stuff like Record of Lodos Wars or Devil Hunter Yokko. Oh and lots of hentai.
The new GITS movie and TV series really are anomalies. They're a throwback to that era of anime, one which I miss very much.
Love Hina, Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu, Fruits Basket, and so on.
Maybe in the last 3 years have we started seeing a much wider market. More shoujo anime is being released here. More kinds of shounen stuff is being released here. Love Hina wasn't anymore popular in Japan than most other harem shows, but it did monster business in the States. Ergo, now you're seeing more harem-girl (Ai Yori Aoshi), harem-meets-mecha (FMP, Nadesico) and bishoujo stuff (Azumanga, Haibane, World of Narue, etc.) Hell they're even hyping yoai-shows like Gravitation now.
Evangelion marks a different generation of mecha. Shows like Rahxephon, Gasaraki, Argento-soma, and (probably) Saikano are all post-Eva "mecha" shows.

Id just like to throw my 2 cents in and say that this anime had the crapyest ending ive ever seen. only a complete moron would be drawn in by the weak philosophical garbage that was barfed out in the last 2 episodes. I thought the overall series was great, and one of the best animes ive ever watched, but the last 2 eps just ruined it. I havent seen the other movies/OVA's yet so im just refering to the actual series. can someone please explain to me why it took 2 whole episodes of random images and flash backs just for shinji to decide weather or not he likes himself? does anyone even care if he likes himself or not? I much rather would have seen what happend to Rei after the final battle. I thought mahoromatic had the worst ending ever, but NGE has deffinatly earned the crown.
ok, i just finished watching "The end of evangelion" and that was an awesome ending. although i cant figure out what the animators obession is with random images, i think it really cheapens the anime. exept for the parts in the 2nd half of the movie where its all real life video/randomness, the movie was perfect.

If you put the orignal ending (25 & 26) into EoE it makes alot more sense. There is evidence of this because if you watch 25 & 26, there are small clips of Ritsuko dead in the LCL, Misato dead by the wall, and I think Asuka in Eva 02 at the bottom of the lake. This is also supported in the preview to ep.25 when you watch it verry slowly it shows the story boards of these.

After helping Jacksonville to a Class 4A state runner-up spot in 2012, Neisler pushed the Golden Eagles to even more impressive heights this season. She topped off her senior season by leading Jacksonville to the 4A state championship.
Neisler led her team with 787 kills. She added 92 blocks, 82 digs and 35 aces, earning her the honor of Calhoun County Class 4A-6A player of the year.
"She's one of those players that comes along that aren't replaceable," Clark said. "Other kids will come along and play that position, but I've always said that in your career you're lucky to get two or three players at a 4A school, and I've been fortunate enough in my 20-year career to have four or five or those players."
When Jacksonville needed a big kill — especially in the five-set state final against Guntersville — everyone in the gym knew the ball was going to Neisler. Even so, teams struggled to stop her offensive attack.
"Just based on what you watched her do, we know Katie is who the ball goes to," Clark said. "She's the most experienced and with the time she's put in, the extra time at practice, her play with club and with her ability to stay calm and take big swings, it's not an easy thing to do. I've seen a lot of good players reach a certain moment and not be able to do it."
Even when things weren't going as well as Jacksonville would have hoped, specifically when the Golden Eagles dropped the first two sets of the 4A state championship match to Guntersville, Clark said it'd be easy for players to get frustrated, but not Neisler.
It was her efforts that helped Jacksonville win the final three sets against Guntersville and the state title.
She won the 4A state tournament most valuable player award, which was even more special for her because the team had dedicated the season to her older sister, Caroline Neisler, who died in May from complications from acute myeloid leukemia.
"(Katie) understood her leadership role, and I think with what her family went through with her sister passing has contributed to Katie's role as a player," Clark said. "Her sister was really tough mentally and never seemed to quit. Not that Katie didn't play that way, but I think when she thought back to how Caroline played that pushed her to play harder this year."
Winning the state championship also put Neisler on the same level as her sisters. Her oldest sister, Elizabeth, and Caroline each helped win two state titles while at Jacksonville.

This method uses a UK based SMS gateway and most likely not suitable for international use
Two years ago I wrote how you could have a free SMS voting using intelliSoftware SMS Gateway service. This recipe automatically forwarded text messages from the IntelliSoftware SMS gateway to a blogger account using posting via email. Votes were then extracted from messages from the blogs RSS feed using some PHP code on my server.
Last year a modified version of this was used to collect votes for the poster competition at eAssessment Scotland 2011. I was recently asked if the recipe would still work for this year's conference. It does but I thought I could make it better.
The main change is to directly ingest SMS messages into a Google Spreadsheet (using 30 lines of code) which makes it easier for manipulation and presentation. The method for doing this is relatively simple because the IntelliSoftware gateway has a HTTP interface and you can also use Google Spreadsheets as a Database – INSERT with Apps Script form POST/GET submit method.
If you would like to do this yourself here's how:
- Signup for an account at intelliSoftware (it's free!)
- Open a copy of this Google Spreadsheet template (also free)
- File > Manage Versions and enter any description you like and Save New Version
- Run > setUp (you'll need to do this twice - 1st time to grant acces to Script Properties)
- Publish > Deploy as web app and click update and copy the service url
- Open your IntelliSoftware control panel
- Click on Forwarding and change, tick 'Enable incoming message forwarding' and change forwarding type to http
- Copy the web app url into the address field and click Save
To receive messages tell users to send a text message to 07786 XXX XXX with 'xyz and their message' (where 07786 XXX XXX is the mobile number found in the Trial Service section and xyz is your username created with intelliSoftware).
In the example template I show how you can parse messages to generate a response graph. You might also want to look at how I've used a Google Form for Hacking stuff together with Google Spreadsheets: A simple electronic voting system, at the very basic level you've got a free SMS textwall to play with. If you do come up with any interesting mashups please leave a note in the comments :)

Renowned Georgia O'Keeffe Expert to Discuss the Artist's Life in Film August 16 at the Clark
For Immediate Release
July 28, 2009
In addition to being one of America's best-known artists since the 1920s, Georgia O'Keeffe was one of the most photographed artists of her time. Barbara Buhler Lynes will explore the filmed representations of O'Keeffe with a screening and discussion of Georgia O'Keeffe: A Life in Art, a 2002 short film directed by documentary filmmaker Perry Miller Adato. Lynes, curator of the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum and expert on this iconic twentieth-century artist, will present "Filming Georgia O'Keeffe: Conversation and Critique" on Sunday, August 16, at 3 pm, at the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute. Admission to this event is free.
From early portraits by her agent and spouse, Alfred Stieglitz, to Adato's 1977 made-for-television feature, photographs and films of O'Keeffe have established and ultimately re-created the artist's public image and place within the public imagination. In Lynes's commentary preceding and following the film, for which she was an associate director, she discusses O'Keeffe's active role in crafting an artistic identity through photography and film. Due to emerging scholarship and a deeper understanding of O'Keeffe's life and work, the artist's representation has changed over time.
Lynes is the Emily Fisher Landau Director of the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum Research Center and the Curator of the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Her recent exhibitions include Living Artists of Distinction: Sherrie Levine, Abstraction and Moments in Modernism: Georgia O'Keeffe and Andy Warhol: Flowers of Distinction. Lynes has published extensively and influentially on O'Keeffe for the last twenty years. Her work includes the two-volume Georgia O'Keeffe catalogue raisonné and Georgia O'Keeffe and the Camera: The Art of Identity. Her publication, Georgia O'Keeffe: Museum Collections, was named Best General Art Book of 2007 by US News. Lynes has taught art history at numerous institutions, including Vanderbilt University, Dartmouth College, and Montgomery College, and lectured extensively. Lynes holds a Ph.D. in French literature from the University of California at Riverside and a Ph.D. in art history from Indiana University at Bloomington.
On view this summer exclusively at the Clark is Dove/O'Keeffe: Circles of Influence. O'Keeffe burst onto the New York art scene in 1916 and captured the imagination of people around the world, not only with incredible artistic talent, but through her bohemian spirit as well. Experience this distinctly American artist's early works with those of modernist Arthur Dove, whom she credited as having the most significant role in the formation of her abstract works. Also on view is Through the Seasons: Japanese Art in Nature featuring traditional screens and scrolls and contemporary ceramics, emphasizing the inspirational role of nature in Japanese art.
The Clark is located at 225 South Street in Williamstown. The galleries are open daily, 10 am to 5 pm (closed Mondays, September through June). Admission June 1 through October 31 is $12.50 for adults, free for children 18 and younger, members, and students with valid ID. Admission is free November 1 through May 31. For more information, call 413-458-2303 or visit clarkart.edu.

Comments On Aug 06, 2012:I thought these were sissy but now I never ride without it. Keep all my tools in it. At first it feels heavy but you quickly don't notice it anymore....Keeps weight low, and an advantage I didn't realize until recently is part of the weight of my backpack sits on it and gets the weight off my shoulders. Very durable, tough, and zippers still work very well.

Comments On May 11, 2011:Well made product (except for the belt buckle adjustment that slips too easily). I especially liked the two side pockets, one seals tight and the other has a nifty design that opens top and bottom so a water/oil bottle fits easily. Can still be zipped up and used as a regular pocket. Well padded so tools don't stick you. Unfortunately, whoever designed this bag never used it to carry offroad tools. D-rings to carry t-handles on the outside? are you kidding me? All the usable tool loops are vertical and will only hold 4 inch tools. There are some horizontal tool loops but they are on a flimsy almost useless flap. Also the tool loops are either too big for single wrenches or too small for pliers etc. So 80% of my tools, pliers, screwdrivers, axle wrenches, t-handle, spare levers, etc. (anything over 4 inches) must be rolled up in my seperate tool wrap. It also lacks a slim flat pocket for license, registration, money, map, medical or emergency contacts, etc.

Comments On Apr 05, 2010:I used my first pack for two years of desert racing in the ATV over 50 class. This pack survived numerous crashes and hundreds of miles of abuse with only a zipper failure on a side pouch after my last crash. Excellent pack for the pro and the novice.

são paulo, tuesday 3rd of november
World Bank's President asks Ombudsman to audit Amazon soybean loan
The President of the World Bank, James Wolfensohn, asked for an audit on the controversial US$ 30m IFC loan to the Brazilian soybean giant Amaggi, belonging to the Governor of Mato Grosso, Blairo Maggi. The request was sent to the Compliance Advisor/Ombudsman of IFC, the window of the Bank for private sector lending. The results of the audit - focused on the categorization of the project based on its social and environmental risk - will be disclosed to the public, as stated by President Wolfensohn himself in a letter sent to the Forest Working Group of the Brazilian Forum of NGOs and Social Movements.
The loan was approved on September, 23rd, despite repeated alerts from the Brazilian NGOs about the alleged irregular categorization of the project, implying the lack of basic evaluations from the social and environmental point of view. The project aims at expanding the capacity of Amaggi to process soybean in areas of agricultural expansion in the state. While IFC procedures establishes that large scale agribusiness projects in critical ecosystems should go through the "A category" screening - which includes a full EIA and other precautionary measures - IFC staff submitted the project to the Board with a "B" categorization, thereby omitting part of the necessary appraisal.
The Forum, which includes all the principal environmental and social NGOs of Brazil, called since last July for the attention of President Wolfensohn on these facts and also withdrew its representation from the Rio de Janeiro IFC consultation on the overall review of IFC safeguards, in September. NGOs are especially concerned by the fact that the categorization of this project might contribute to lowering standards of IFC - as well as private financial institutions using IFC safeguards as a reference - as far as future possible large agricultural projects in forest ecosystems of the Amazon region.
In his letter, Wolfensohn expresses the hope that, with such a decision, the Bank could continue to play an important role in promoting dialogue on complex issues such as the one of soybean expansion and states that the audit "will provide an independent view of the matter, and its results will be made public in accordance with the CAO's procedures". Wolfensohn concludes stating "I will forward to the results of the CAO's work".
Roberto Smeraldi, director of Amigos da Terra - Amazônia Brasileira and recipient of the letter, said the initiative of the President is positive and commented: "had the arguments of civil society be considered two months earlier, there would be no need for this audit now".

Shrimp and Linguine Fra Diavolo
Recipe courtesy of Emeril Lagasse
Recipe courtesy Emeril Lagasse, 2006
- Emeril Live
- 1 pound linguine
- 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 cup small diced onion
- 3 tablespoons minced garlic
- 2 to 3 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 1/2 cups canned tomato sauce
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 1/2 pounds shrimp, peeled and deveined with tails removed
- 1 teaspoon salt, plus more for pasta water
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan, optional
Bring a large 1-gallon pot of salted water to a boil, and place the pasta in the pot. Cook for 5 minutes and then drain; pasta will be only partially cooked. As the pasta cooks, set a 14-inch saute pan over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the onions to the pan and cook until lightly caramelized and wilted, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic to the pan and saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the red pepper flakes and saute briefly before adding the tomato sauce and tomato paste. Cook the sauce until reduced by about half, about 5 minutes. Add the shrimp to the pan and cook for 2 minutes. Add the partially cooked pasta to the pan along with 1 cup of the pasta cooking water and continue to cook the pasta in the sauce until al dente, about 3 to 4 minutes. Season the pasta with the salt and garnish with the parsley. Toss to combine and serve with grated Parmesan, if desired.

Each one of you has the right to vote. But, do you have any idea what measures were taken to give us these rights?
It is important for the youth of our nation to voice their political opinion on their own ballots, it is a right that was not easily won over, it is our duty as Americans to do what we can and what we are entitled to do to elect a candidate who we see fit to run this country.
After a long battle, suffrage for 18 year olds was finally granted in 1971, the fresh political perspective of our nation's youth must be heard through your vote.
I recently interviewed one of my friends and fellow classmates, Jacie Coressel. She is a senator for the College of Liberal Arts on Auburn's Student Government Association. Coressel is also studying political science and has an extensive background with politics. Summer of 2011, Coressel interned in Washington, D.C., with North Carolina Sen. Richard Burr. She really learned a lot during her summer in D.C.
"My internship duties were simply to conduct tours of the U.S. Capitol Building, answer phone calls from constituents and to conduct legislative research."
Because Coressel has so much experience with issues and topics concerning our government, I thought she would be a perfect source to interview about the necessity of voting. She believes that it is "crucial for this age group to register to vote because we are the future of America."
This is a valid point because the next four years will have a huge impact on our lives. We will be experiencing many changes; graduating from college, finding a job, finding a place to live and possibly starting a family. Depending on who is elected for president next month, the candidate will have an effect on the changes we will be experiencing.
It is so important that we educate ourselves on the potential policies of Romney and Obama. The economy "is worse than it has been in generations" and if it does not improve, many of us will find ourselves searching unsuccessfully for jobs after post graduation.
So much of our nation's youth takes the same political viewpoint as their parents. If we do not make our own opinions based on the debates, interviews and general news, and instead simply adopt our parents' belief, is it really our own thoughts at all?
I agree wholeheartedly with Coressel when she says, "if you don't vote, you shouldn't complain about the outcome of the election."
People our age commonly misconceive whether our vote truly makes a difference. It is important to remember that every vote counts, sometimes elections are very close and we have a say in who wins the presidential race, so why not take advantage of that right? So, while you still have time, get out to the polls and cast your vote.

The consolidation wave, building in the hotel industry for some time, hit the full-service sector with two mega-deals this winter. In late January, Hilton Hotels Corporation made a $6.5 billion hostile bid for ITT Sheraton, which quickly rejected the offer and began preparing to sell off its "non-core" assets, such as the New York Knicks.
Aiming to raise cash and demonstrate a clear focus on its hotel and casino business, ITT Sheraton hoped to keep shareholders happy enough with the company's direction and prospects to rebuff further offers by Hilton. At press time, the next move was Hilton's. The combined companies would be a lodging and gambling empire of 655 hotels and 30 casinos worldwide.
Meanwhile, a proposed buyout of Renaissance Hotels & Resorts by Doubletree fell through when Marriott International charged in with a higher bid of nearly $1 billion. (Wyndham Hotels, Starwood Lodging, and Holiday Inn owner Bass plc also looked at buying the chain.) Combined, Marriott and Renaissance operate or franchise more than 1,300 hotels in 50 countries. The deal is expected to be completed by the second quarter of this year; until then, neither company is commenting on the ramifications for the meeting industry

ThinkstockAfter Julia Rodriguez gave birth to her twins via cesarean section 18 months ago, her body was swollen and she had to go on medication for high blood pressure. "When I got home, I looked like an elephant," she admits.
The medication and compression socks weren't working. She couldn't fit into any of her shoes. Then she began consuming pills made from her dried-up placenta, prepared by her doula.
"As soon as I began taking the placenta pills, everything went back to normal really fast." Rodriguez, 42, tells Yahoo Shine. "My energy was there. It was pretty amazing." Even her sister was shocked at the transformation in just a week.

"Everyone was commenting on how good I looked," says Rodriguez. She was soon able to quit her blood pressure medicine, and says the pills helped with postpartum depression and even eased the hot flashes that came on a few months later.

What's the Perfect Age? If You're a Woman, It's 53By Lindsay Powers | Healthy Living – Mon, Sep 16, 2013 1:23 PM EDTThey say you can't go back, but most women wouldn't want to anyway.
That's not surprising, according to New York City psychotherapist Robi Ludwig. "This is really developmentally the time of life that women plug into themselves and respect themselves, listen to their own voice, and develop their own voice, so it makes perfect sense that they would really feel good, because they're doing that," she tells Yahoo Shine.

With age comes wisdom, she says. "Women in their 20s today are still very much young-minded…They almost see themselves as kidlike. As they're into their 30s, they're beginning to make more adult choices that will serve as the foundation [of the future], but there's still a bit of wanting to please parents, wanting to please bosses, be
Melt-y Grilled Cheese – with a Twist – for SpringBy Lindsay Powers | Team Mom – Fri, May 17, 2013 2:13 PM EDT
Little Muenster's grilled cheeseThere's nothing better than a gooey grilled cheese sandwich. But now that it's warming up, you're probably craving less comfort food -- and something that tastes a little lighter for spring.Read More »from Melt-y Grilled Cheese – with a Twist – for Spring
Adam Schneider and Vanessa Palazio, co-owners of Little Muenster in Manhattan and Brooklyn, share their sandwich recipe with a twist (gruyere cheese! pickled onions!) with Yahoo! Shine.
The dish is "interactive and easy for even kids to do," Schneider tells Shine. (He and Palazio will be whipping up thousands over the weekend at Brooklyn's second annual Great GoogaMooga food and music festival, which attracted 40,000 people last year. Over Friday to Sunday, the festival, held in sprawling Prospect Park, will feature food from 85 New York restaurants, hundreds of specially curated wines, beers, and cocktails, and performances by bands like The Darkness, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and The Flaming Lips.)

'Property Brothers:' Behind the ScenesBy Lindsay Powers | Decorating Guide – Fri, Oct 5, 2012 12:51 PM EDT
Jonathan and Drew ScottThe recent allegations that "House Hunters" is fake got us thinking about the other show we're mildly obsessed with on HGTV, "Property Brothers." It features people who buy a fixer-upper and renovate it into their dream home with the help of twins Jonathan (the contractor) and Drew (the real estate agent) Scott.Read More »from 'Property Brothers:' Behind the Scenes
The guys, 34, laugh off the idea that the show isn't real. "Everything is genuine, and we keep it nice and transparent," Jonathan tells Yahoo! Shine.
"We've had people watch the show and go on fact-finding missions," he adds. "Every home is on the MLS or for sale by owner. You can go online and search, unlike some of these other shows showing houses that aren't even for sale." (One subject who appeared on "House Hunters" wrote on a blog, "You have to already own the house that gets picked at the end of the show.")

Involuntarily Bumped from Flight? Here's What to DoBy Lindsay Powers | Work + Money – Wed, Oct 3, 2012 9:50 PM EDT
(Justin Sullivan/Getty Images) Last July, I was involuntarily bumped from a United flight, kicking off a 16-hour travel odyssey from New York to Seattle to Portland. While there are some people who try to get bumped from flights to collect vouchers and upgrades, this was the furthest thing from my mind as I tried to make my way to the northwest to attend a close friend's wedding.Read More »from Involuntarily Bumped from Flight?

The two teams played the first half with their varsity squads, with Sylacauga winning 21-14. In the second half, with the junior varsities on the field, Sylacauga also won 7-0.
"A lot of people don't believe we're young, I have 26 sophomores" Anniston head coach Eddie Bullock said. "We had a few nerves."
Anniston fell behind early after allowing a 9-yard touchdown pass from Hunter Johns to Ian Floyd to cap off a 10-play drive, which opened the game offensively for Sylacauga. After Anniston didn't make a first down on its possession, the Aggies scored again, this time on a 43-yard run by Ian Floyd.
"I had a couple starters that didn't play defensively, and that threw a damper in it, for team reasons" Bullock said. "We had to make some quick changes, but we are exactly where I thought we were going to be. Once we got it going, we started looking pretty good."
The Aggies scored on a read-option run from 14 yards out by quarterback Jordan Daniels in the second quarter, taking a 21-0 lead before the Bulldogs answered on a 45-yard screen pass from Quint Dobbins to Donovan Lucas for a touchdown.
Lucas finished with 34 yards on the ground on five carries including a 19-yard carry around the left side for a touchdown with 59 seconds left before halftime.
As for Dobbins, a first-year varsity starting quarterback, Bullock said, "He did well. He got a little rattled early, but once he settled in, he told me, 'Coach, I got it.'"
Dobbins completed 6 of 11 passes for 98 yards and a touchdown.
"I did well. I had a few mess-ups, but this is the jamboree game. Next week, I'll try my hardest and work hard to do my best," Dobbins said.
Added Bullock: "We did a lot of things well. Most of our problems were alignment and recognizing formations. It wasn't a lack of effort."
Anniston will open up the regular season Friday night at home against Greenville.

Green Your Garden With Compost
Compost is king when it comes to growing a beautiful plant or vegetable garden organically. This nutrient-rich black dirt forms as vegetable and plant matter decomposes. It's easy to make, it provides a great way to use up food scraps, and it's virtually free! Best of all, the pile eats up food and other matter that would otherwise end up in a landfill.
To start, you'll need to decide whether to use a closed container or open space near your garden. Naturally, a closed container is easily contained, but it can be harder to regulate moisture within and it holds less. While a compost pile or heap lets you add more material, and is easier to mix, it can be quite unsightly. Whichever you choose, you'll definitely want to keep the pile outside, as it gives off a distinct odor as the matter breaks down.
Now, ready, set, compost!
- Start the pile with dirt from your garden, and add food scraps regularly.
- Maintain a balance between wet green material (like grass clippings and vegetable peels) and dry brown matter (like chopped leaves and shredded paper).
- Never add meat scraps or fatty foods.
- Stir the pile every week or two to mix in the beneficial bacteria growing inside.
- Keep the mixture moist but not soaking wet and in no time you'll have your own pile of nutrient-rich compost for planting.
Mother Earth News advises using the following for your compost pile:
- Grass clippings
- Chopped leaves and stalks
- Vegetable and fruit trimmings
- Weeds
- Straw and hay
- Shredded paper and cardboard
- Manure from grazing animals
For more great ideas on how to go green in honor of Earth day, see these other posts from my colleagues.

Program Page
The vision of this project is to maximize healthy births in two Chicago community areas, Austin and North Lawndale. Three clearly identifiable components of this project are:
In addition, the project targets the postpartum woman who has had a previous very low birth weight delivery or a fetal or neonatal death because research indicates that she is likely to experience a repeated negative outcome at the next pregnancy.
The overall objective of this project is to increase healthy births in North Lawndale and Austin by 20%.
The outreach agency in Austin will enroll up to 263 women annually with no more
than 68% of the women being high risk. At least 95 percent of the women enrolled by the outreach agency in Austin must reside in the Austin community.
The outreach agency in North Lawndale will enroll up to 175 women annually with no more than 68% of the women being high risk. At least 95% percent of the women enrolled by the outreach agency in North Lawndale must reside in the North Lawndale community.
The project began in June 2006, no data yet available.
By the end of the project, it is anticipated that 75% of unserved at-risk women will have been reached and that the percentage of low birth weight babies for this group will be reduced by 20%. The project is expected to last for four years and serve 2000 women.
